Curriculum Framework

Key Stages 1-4

The curriculum in Key Stages 1-4 is built around 6 areas of learning:

Communication Thinking Skills The World Around Us

Health and Body Creativity and Expressive Arts Myself & My Community

Individual subjects are grouped into one of the 6 areas to reflect the overlaps between them. Aspects of thinking skills, health and body and communication are interwoven into all subjects. Teachers from each department work together to develop the area of leaning so as to ensure consistency across the school.

Subjects generally follow a two year programme. We deliver our curriculum in a varied way to ensure pupils remember, make links, make predictions, plan ,think creatively, problem solve, show understanding and evaluate their own learning.

Pupils re-visit aspects of learning and topics to further develop their skills and understanding. This supports progression, embeds learning through repetition and helps pupils to apply their skills in different situations which is crucial for all of our pupils.
